I remember watching Star Trek long ago when I was a wee wee bairn - I don't think I was more than about 6 years old and I used to sit on my grandfather's lap and watch it with him. He used to tell me stories about what was happening in the show. This was back when tv only had one channel (and no, I'm not kidding about that.) Wow, I miss my grandpa so much right now!

TPBM knows the value of a bit of nostalgia now and then.

"There's a hell of a good universe next door, let's go!" e e cummings

"And the new day was a great big fish." Terry Pratchett

"WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?" Terry Pratchett (yes again, I'm afraid. He's my absolute favourite author)

It were a dark an stormy night an all thee boards did creak...I were a lowlee cabin boy in them days an I always kept me back to thee scuppers. I remembers me first Cap'n loik it was yesterday...Cap'n Brown Bartholemooo thee Bastard. He were a hard man who'd ave thee skin orf yer back as good as look at ye...an that's if he were in a good mood. One day we were sailin orf thee coast orf Tortuga when thee Cap'n cried out fer Rum..."Fetch me rum yer blaggards...or I'll Keel Haul every man jack of ye". Imagine me terror when I finds out that every last drop o rum had been drunk thee night before whilst we celebrated thee First Mates Birthday! Me first thought was ta jump over board an swim fer it...take me luck wiv thee sharks...

TPBM wishes I had finished the story.

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

TPBM probably read ^^'s reply better than TPAM and has a good repertoire of fart jokes for our entertainment.

I do, but I'll just skip to the punchlines."...and when he opened the door, the dog came into the room.""...abcess makes the farts go Honda.""...no, they always look like that."

TPBM has a joke that they could go to jail for.(I know I certainly do...)

"I don't mean to sound bitter, cynical and cruel; but I am, so that's how it comes out." Bill Hicks."One should not believe everything one reads on the internet." Abraham Lincoln"Are you OK?" daftbeaker (<-- very good question, people should ask it more often.)

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

"To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection." - Henri Poincaré
